Side line cheerleading is a sport, in which you show off flexibility and coordination with your team, all movements are done the same unless there are parts assigned to different girls/boys. It also has cheers that put the 'cheer' in 'cheerleading.' these cheers are usually to hype up the crowd in the stands or to even encourage the football players out on the field.
Competitive Cheerleading is a sport in which several teams from schools compete for awards by performing in three rounds, round one is were the cheerleaders show off coordination, jumps, vocals, and impression. Round two is a ten count drill all cheerleaders must do and skills such as the splits, cartwheels, back hand springs, back tucks, and several other tumbling skills, along with vocals like before and precision. Round three is stunting, tumbling, execution, and lastly vocals once again.
Every movement is judged by the judges and a score is kept up with every mistake there is a deduction from your total points at the end and places are given.
In both forms of Cheerleading injury is very common such as broken ankles, broken shoulders, broken wrist, broken nose, broken finger, along with torn ACL, pulled hip flexors, pulled groins, torn groins, torn hip flexors, dislocated arms, dislocated knees, etc.
I am a Cheerleader myself, and despise when people disagree that it is a sport when it is, if cheerleading isn't a sport marching band isn't a sport.
